The distance from the basement floor (-15 ft) to the roof (37 ft) is 37 ft - (-15 ft) = 52 feet. Hence, the correct answer is 52 feet.
To find the distance from the basement floor to the roof, we need to subtract the elevation of the basement floor from the elevation of the roof.
Elevation of the roof - Elevation of the basement floor = Distance from the basement floor to the roof
37 feet - (-15 feet) = 37 feet + 15 feet = 52 feet
So, the distance from the basement floor to the roof is 52 feet. Therefore, the correct answer is 52 feet.
To find the distance from the basement floor to the roof, we need to subtract the elevation of the basement floor from the elevation of the roof.
The elevation of the basement floor is given as -15 ft. This negative sign indicates that the basement floor is 15 feet below a reference point, such as ground level.
The elevation of the roof is given as 37 ft.
To find the distance from the basement floor to the roof, we need to subtract the elevation of the basement floor from the elevation of the roof:
Distance = Elevation of the roof - Elevation of the basement floor
Distance = 37 ft - (-15 ft)
Distance = 37 ft + 15 ft
Distance = 52 ft
Therefore, the distance from the basement floor to the roof is 52 feet.
